![handwritten text score sketch:
'somewhere further you can go'
[percussionist and pianist parts presented parallel to each other]
"percussionist:
2 items that produce rich, resonant inharmonic sounds
***
play one item over and over for a long time, aiming for a consistent repeatable sound
~ pause ~
play the other item over and over for a long time, aiming for a consistent repeatable sound
~ pause ~
play one of the items again over and over for a long time, transforming/merging gradually into the other item until the first item has disappeared
***
***
pianist:
The available resources of your instrument (can include inside/outside piano and preparations)
***
match/merge with the sounds you hear as closely as you can
~ pause ~
match/merge with the sounds you hear as closely as you can
~ pause ~
find sound that causes the percussionist's sound to be heard to be in friction/in tune with itself
